About GPU Goblin
Science needs computing power, but graphics cards are facing an unprecedented shortage. Meanwhile, powerful graphics cards sit idle in homes and offices every night. GPU Goblin connects the two.
Principles
- No foreign code on your machine. Contributors run the platform’s own code, in a sandbox.
- Verified results. Every result is recomputed or compared before it is used.
- The owner decides. A machine lends only when and how its owner allows.
- No money involved. Credits count contributions; they are not a currency.
Who
GPU Goblin is designed and developed by Nicolas Michel, a member of LAAS-CNRS, a research laboratory of the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) in Toulouse. It is a personal project: it is not an official service of the CNRS or of LAAS-CNRS.
